BATON ROUGE - A group of teachers, parents and a charter school management organization filed suit today arguing that Gov. Bobby Jindal's interference in the Department of Education's testing is illegal and unconstitutional.

The lawsuit asks that a judge lift the governor's executive order blocking the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education and Superintendent of Education John White from fulfilling their duties to purchase test questions to comply with Louisiana's accountability law.
